Safeway Supermarket Agreement from 2006 - 2008 (pg 61 onwards - wage rate, pg2 is where you can see the grading)

Hey mate,

PM me your best price.

Cheers

dante_cool

already PM you

I dun think there is $5 wage out there.
Minium will be $7
Coz the min age to work in WA is must be passed 14 years old and 9 months

For age 18, the wage should be more than $10 that the rules if you work in "LEGAL" way!

There is a list u can download from gov website to see what the min wage for what age.

hi everybody.. I am vishak and i need some urgent advice on australian uni. I plan to do my undergrad engienering there. I have got offers from UNSW(electrical engin) and UniMelb(common engin) Please adive me which would be the better choice.. I plan to take up PR and settle in australia if i go to study there.. Please reply soon

it depends on wat ur interested in.. no point doing something that u have no interest in..

wat do u mean by interest? I have decided on engineering... What are the other considerations i have to think of

cost of living, how is the degree going to ensure you job after study, what s the diff between unimelb degree and sydney degree.

deciding on the better one offers..it is your own. we cant assist you on what to study.

Hmmm...very hard to say.Both unis are good uni.

Im studying in UNSW anyway.Doing first year Civil Engineering.

I find the lecturers are really good.

I choose UNSW cause it's cheaper compare to Melbourne.

Since Melbourne's program is called common engineering, I presume you will have to select a major by the end of your 1st year. It should be similar to UNSW's Flexible First Year program which was the first of its kind to offer a common Engineering stream for first years.

Engineering is a large discipline and has many specialisations. You must know what you're interested in as specialisation is necessary and it is usually not possible to switch majors as the degree is very specialised.

In Sydney, UNSW is undoubtedly the best university for Engineering, with strong industry links and above average salaries for graduates in the industry (this depends on the individual of course as graduating from a good university doesn't mean a thing if you have failed to possess employable-traits). In Melbourne, Melbourne university would be the most popular choice and should have the strongest reputation there. Overall, I believe UNSW is a better university at technical training than Melbourne, hence graduates gain a slight advantage in terms of being more industry-relevant.

Also, do not bank your chances on a PR this early as job demands may change according to the state of the economy, so this cannot be guaranteed no matter which university you go to.

yeah, heard firm in Melbourne pay $22 per hour but travelling from Geelong to Melbourne gonna waste time and also money....





yeah, if you come here self-sponsored, maybe you can choose UNSW then since its cheaper there compare to Melbourne....

but I really do love Melbourne, it is just so architecturally intriguing...

The difference is only approximately less than A$3000 as UNSW has also increased its fees. All you guys on a scholarship, does your award increase proportionally to the increase in tuition fees?

I calculated the total fees and living cost for UNSW and Melb Uni.

Melb Uni cost a lot more in the end,compare to UNSW.

Anyway,UNSW is a nice place to study.It's just too hectic for me.Still not used to the 12 weeks and endless test system.

You mean UNSW is a nice place to study but abit too hectic for you because of the endless test system ?

12 weeks and endless tests are common in almost any uni.....

Yup, all unis here have the same thing... 12 weeks + all the exams, but some subjects have mid-sems as well so don't know if u like that or not XD

Anyway, I'm 1st year Melb Uni Environments here & 2nd year in Melbourne
It's a great place to study and I'm enjoying everyday over here

Cost of living and Melb uni fees are undoubtly very expensive.

Engineering in Melbourne is good, and if you can get in this year it's even better. Because with the Melbourne Model you'll have to take Bachelor of Environments to do engineering - i think it's great because I get to learn multidisciplinary stuff but if you don't think it's relevant then u better don't do it or you'll be suffering, + it'll be more difficult and expensive to get into Masters of Engineering afterwards. This is the last year Melb Uni's offering Engineering directly so what can I say - treasure it if you will...

But UNSW is great too - try checking out the course structure and subjects you'll be doing in both unis - go with what appeals to you more.

Another thing, off-topic: for all the lovely peeps in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide & Brisbane - as part of EndChildSlavery campaign, there's going to be Global Night Shift - a massive youth rally/concert/street party on the 16th of May, tickets will be on sale from ticketmaster for $20 and all profits will go to Oaktree Foundation's education & development projects in India It'll be awesome so bring your friends and go if you can!!!

This campaign also show Australia and the rest of the world of an attitude shift in us young people - standing up against child slavery - it will be held simultaneously across the 6 major cities in Australia - and it will attract huge media attention and will pressure the major corps to be transparent, ethical in their trading with 3rd world countries and not to exploit them!

For us lucky Melbourne people, we have the event held at wonderful Docklands this year so come come!! There will be great Australian artistes performing and it'll be a great experience for all

I've got one question.
In UNSW, usually people take 24 Units of Credits per semester right?
Does that mean we have to study 24 hours per week?
Just to confirm that

Lol, the "number of hours of study per week" is a persistent joke among students. Every course outline states that you have to spend at least 10 hours per week studying beyond lectures and tutorials. With an average of 4-5 courses per session, that amounts to approximately 40-50 hours of studying per week.
